Without your love, It’s a melody played in a penny arcade. ---

Good morning Mister Blue, we’ve got our eyes on you. The evidence is clear, that you’ve been scheming. You like to steal away and while away the day. You like to spend an hour dreaming. What will it take, to whip you into line? A broken heart? A broken head? It can be arranged. It can be arranged. ---

But the people in control don’t care for you Say you’re just a robot with a job to do And when your use is exhausted, they’ll be rid of you As soon as look at you, go to the back of the queue! B-B-Big brother’s got no heart When I get my chance I’m gonna kick him in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Big brother’s got no heart When I get my chance I’m gonna kick him in the ah (sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) arse ---
